Hundreds mourn bridegroom killed by police

[GeorgeSSSS]

Everyone knows I'm the most right wing conservative you'll come across. However, let me point out that the cops were undercover cops, meaning (most likely) no visable badges at the time of the incident. Therefore, this black kid is in a bad part of town and a bunch of unknown guys start following him, then they draw guns, and then start shooting. All the kid knows is he's being shot at -- -- most likely by gang bangers; he doesn't realize they are the police. In that context, his conduct was reasonable: He was unarmed and he was trying to escape.

When I was a prosecutor in the U.S. Navy, one of the things we always made sure of was that Shore Patrol personnel (i.e. military police) on patrol had their SP insignia plainly visable on their uniforms and were wearing white SP helmets, thereby indicating their police function. If they didn't, the jerk resisting arrest or running away couldn't be prosecuted for resisting arrest or running from the Shore Patrol because he wouldn't know they were SPs.

If the NY undercover cops didn't make it clear to the kid who was shot that they were undercover cops, the kid is innocent and the cops are in the wrong. And if that's the case, they all need to be taken off the force and maybe prosecuted.

I think Jessee Jackson and Al Sharpton are a couple of the biggest jerks on the planet. But this time, they may be right. This kid may be an innocent victim of criminally incompetent undercover work.

No doubt tragic, but if it was some gang bangers- they would have shot him too. I don't think that those police intentionally set out to kill him for no reason. He was bashing into their car and buildings- and supposedly there was an altercation prior to the incident.

Sharpton and Jackson piss me off because they always play the race card and the uneducated/spongeminded followers proceed and protest often with misinformation. This is a police matter. They play people because that is all that they have now. The lynchings are over- this is the 21st century.

I just don't see it. I don't see acts of racism except in articles with their name in them. Don't get me wrong- I see the Negro College Fund (I guess you apparently can't say "Negro" anymore- so whatever they call it.)-and my tax money flying to defend my city and others from the NAACP because a quota isn't met. But the people that hire and fire/go to school/walk the streets/teach the children all grew up with shared bathrooms, Different Strokes, shared workplaces, the Cosbys, fuggin Rerun and Rodge and damn Michael Jackson. It's a Different World....

Everyone in this country was decended from an immigrant -most whites came over as servants:

So I'm not buying it anymore and I'm am vocal about it. (rant off )



BTW: The officers involved are white, hispanic and black.
